Salt

Goodbye tastes like all the salt in the sea

It rolls off the tongue so quick and easily

Sometimes, it burns like hell when it comes out

I wish I'd left that "goodbye" in my mouth

Sorry seems to say the same old thing

I guess that's why it's so hard to believe

It never leaves much room for common ground

I wish I'd left that "sorry" in my mouth

Because it's over

And I know how it feels when someone hands you

A bitter, jagged pill

Then you swallow

But you can't swallow

"I love you" is the worst one of them all

Such a dangerous and hard place to fall

Opens up the door to pain and doubt

I wish I left "I love you" in my mouth

Because it's over

And I know how it feels when someone hands you

A bitter, jagged pill you try to swallow

But you can't swallow

But then, you swallow

Goodbye tastes like all the salt in the sea
